I was driving with a friend the other day and when she tried to type numbers into her phone, she swerved, almost into the other lane! We were on a highway, it could have been a disaster. These tips definitely need to be looked at.

If you have to talk while driving, the cell phones these days have so many features. Voice activation for one. I can leave my phone open and have it automatically answer after so many rings, that way I don't have to pick it up. As for dialing out, alls you have to do is say the person you want to call and it will call them.

It really does annoy me when I see some one with the phone perched under their ear while trying to fiddle with the radio and eat a mars bar at the same time. If the phone call is that important, pull over to the side of the road or like chattycathy said, invest in a phone that doesn't need to be touched to use.

It's not just your life on the line but the poor sod you crash into as well.

If you have an important message that you are expecting, then you can turn on your cellphone. Otherwise, turn it off so that you won't get distracted. If you need to answer the phone, better pull over so that you be safe while having a conversation in the phone.
